Hajer Abdellaoui

A fine-arts educated painter, Hajer is also a gifted jeweler; she began learning the trade at age 11 from her neighbor a French grande dame. At the start, jewelry making was a simple hobby for her, but thanks to Hajer’s schooling her youthful passion has grown into her vocation. The mastery of various techniques including assembly, threading, plaiting has permitted her to realize her ideas as unique works.

Quote : "I love making things of value that also convey a meaning, so that part of the pleasure is in telling the story behind her work."
